The problem is solved, i think i accidently revoved the language from the settings under the library That and removing the hash solved the issue

You had beta installed for DSM7 and downgrade to release on DSM7.2, you cannot do that as there is a database change. SQLitePCL.pretty.SQLiteException: Error: no such column: Album Please install beta 4.9.0.30 and you should be good. Or you have to delete the database and start over.

Shouldn't have any issues but you will be limited to a browser so you may need to look at your media's codecs for playback methods.

Yes, this is exactly right. One person’s pros and cons can easily be another person’s cons and pros. Multiply that by everyone using Emby and that’s a lot of different opinions! Some people may value form (look) over function and others may value function over form. There is a very wide spectrum in between. To get the balance right isn’t always easy. Emby do a good job overall with this. I think Emby is a great media platform and very flexible, having many different configuration options, plugins, and further customisation through creative editing of metadata, tags and CSS. The recent “Group By” for Collections is a good example of Emby giving their customers a choice of function rather than forcing one view over another. This seemed to be as a result of forum feedback – so Emby does listen and respond! I can’t wait to see what come next with Smart Playlists and Smart Views for even more individual configuration and flexibility. Keep up the great work Emby team!

Hi, Emby's subtitle feature has come a long way since I started using MB3 and I think the next step is now possible. The OpenAI group has released 'Whisper' a python (there is also a cpp implementation available) module that can be run locally to generate subtitles in 99 different languages (although english is the most efficient from a resource perspective currently) for any file containing audio. This is a OSS model that can be implemented (maybe as a plug in) across many OSes and would allow the generation of subtitles for things that currently lack them. Without hardware support it can't run in real time but as a scheduled task could be run during slow periods for a server. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/09/new-ai-model-from-openai-automatically-recognizes-speech-and-translates-to-english/ for a overview https://github.com/openai/whisper for the Github of the project.

OK the issue is that when you re-enable, it kicks off a guide refresh. Once it gets far enough that the channel has been recreated, then t will be editable. So that part needs improvement. Thanks.

posterizarr This PowerShell script automates the process of generating images for your Plex/Jellyfin/Emby media library. Leveraging information from your Plex/Jellyfin/Emby library, such as movie or show titles, season and episode data, it fetches relevant artwork from Fanart.tv, TMDB, TVDB, Plex and IMDB. The script is able to focus on artwork with specific languages to grab. By default, textless artwork xx is retrieved and will fall back to en if textless is not found. This is a setting a user can decide on, either to focus on textless or on text posters. It also offers both automatic and manual modes for generating posters. The manual mode can accommodate custom creations that cannot be bulk retrieved.

They are only supposed to animate on the detail screen for the item. The fact that it's happening on the list screen is really by accident - only because we're sending back the original image since it does not need to be converted.

Although that might be true (I have no way to test it with TCL from where I am) I have never seen apps get blocked via a TV. I have only had Panasonic, LG and Samsung sets though. Never low-end models. But like I said, I don't care who is to blame, TCL and emby do not gel together. Maybe there is something the devs can do to remedy this? I have no idea. But a FTV Cube will be my buddy's answer. He is home sick today, so he's getting the Cube all set up right now.

I have been using the beta and for the last week+ to test this I have seen zero shows get "stuck" at the end. I really think the problem I have seen with shows failing to automatically end is fixed in the beta. Even a couple of very old cartoons that got stuck regularly do not stick now. I am always open to things reappearing after seemingly fixed but, in this case, the Beta really looks to have fixed my show sticking issue. Thanks.

Seems like it may have been not working due to using pihole on my network for DNS filtering...

There is no option to remove it. What client/app? Only option you have maybe is User icon-app settings-display-Display logo images as titles on detail screens.

You can, with a bit of trouble to get naming correct add any photo you can see in Emby to any collection including new ones created in any way Emby allows. Collections are not listed always correctly but they can be used and even photos from different libraries are included. If you want to add the entire contents of a folder to a collection you can go into the library involved (It does not matter if it is showing as folders or photos) then go into the folder you want to add the photos from and then select the first photo (small circle at the top left of the poster) and then scroll to the last photo and select it with shift+click. That will select all photos in the folder the, using the three dot menu in the upper right choose "add to collection and then from the list select the collection you want the photos in or create a new collection. That seems a bit involved but it really quite easy. Then, after creating the collection, you can navigate to the collection you used (I use the collection library that I display on the home screen (a photo library does not have a collection tab) ) and enter it and play the entire collection by simply pressing play on your Roku remote or any another client's remote. I do not use playlists as i find collections, since an item can be in many different collections, work much better. The one thing to keep in mind is that, in the web interface as opposed to the clients, collections do not display well for photos at all. You can create and populate collections in the web interface but they do not display or play the same as they do on clients like the Roku. I use collections for everything that I would want a playlist for and I find collections the superior method. It is not perfect but it works and from your description it would work for you. Lastly if you use "automatic collection generation" in TV or Movie libraries and you have a good number of videos you will have a ton of nearly useless collections and it may be quite hard to find a collection. I do not recommend using the automatic collections feature as it just clutters things up too much and, at least for me, groups movies stupidly. As I said collections are far from perfect for this use but they do work and provide a work around until Emby fixes photo playlists.

If your media is in DVD order then you need to change Display Order on the Series/Show metadata and Refresh Metadata on the Series/Show w/replace images.

You'd need to rename your episodes as per DVD order: https://thetvdb.com/series/the-outer-limits-1995/seasons/dvd/1 Once done, scan library and Edit metadata>change display order from Aired to DVD. Refresh Metadata afterwards.

Excellent. Now you can also switch quickly between the two users using the user menu at the top of the home page.

Or weeks, but who's counting?

Is there any way to not show continue watching for an item on home, but remember where you left off when you view in the library or collection? Is the only option for this to constantly “remove from continue watching” after I view titles? Or can I do this on a library basis, to exclude from home?

hey instead of specify the time for a task, it would be nice if you could say: start task a after task b has finished. On lower powered servers it is safer to run only one task at once, and on this way there would be no loss of time between the tasks.

It's helpful for less powerful machines and all tasks that depend on the library. So for example a thumbnail image extraction, subtitle download or episode intro detection would make sense after the library scan is finished. That way I have a complete and fresh library and can now start to do the detailed work on it. I have these configured with timeintervals and some safeguard time in between. But that way, a manual library scan always means waiting till 3am or triggering the image extraction task manually. While the task triggers other tasks when finished I could just trigger a library scan and will get all other tasks that depend on it triggered after it's finished.

That’s what his post made it seem like. His tv is direct connected to the server pc via hdmi.

For keeping up with beta AndroidTV releases:

I just filled the return request. So TCL don't make TV's for movies. I keep hearing this.

Good thinking, I didn't Only issue is when you delete a folder on Emby server. In this case only the folder is reported to the plugin and the plugin does a database lookup for the corresponding content (by folder and content parentId). -> Plugin will not catch the substituted content, if the parent id is also different. -> edge case.

Thanks, i usually build AMD but didnt think about those features. I will research a bit into intel for that.

One of these threads that post it in the wrong place of the forum as start, no users issue, no real problem, no, no, and no .. etc. Only to posting false matters not related to the operational of the software. Moving this.

Emby is way better looking than Plex and cleaner too. I don’t even get the point of this post. This is like a Reddit complaining post

We have added this to our tracker. This wasn't intentional. We will get this into the app soon. Reference: Issue #1637: Support photos in playlist

Exactly what do you want in a photo viewer for Roku? Right now the photo player is very limited. But we can improve this. It is quite possible to provide a better experience but users have not complained about this section in quite some time. I know of one PhotoViewer on the Roku that presents itself sort of like this shown above. This interface allows you to do a bit more. Has a photo roll and some other stuff. But is this what you guys want? Do you need animated transitions between photos? Animation effects like viewing Amazon photos on an Echo? How exactly do we create something useful and where would be the place we need to start in your opinion?

In Emby settings under Home Screen in "Home Screen section 1" you choose "Latest Media" That way you will have last new added media to the server at the top of the screen.

Emby works fine if you are not connected to the internet. However, if you use premier features you will lose them if Emby cannot authenticate.

Yes, that problem indeed went away. I will try the enabling of all options tonight per your follow up post.

@quickmic There's another way to make it work until Luke can fix it in beta server. Use path substitution in Kodi advancedsettings.xml I just added the same paths I use in Emby server and let Kodi do the substitution instead. Been working for me in my testing with the latest beta.

By the gods, I fixed it! It seems like for .mkv files, I need to push play once -> the movie doesn't start; stays at 0:00 -> then I select info from the lower left -> the info pops up from the bottom -> and there is an option "From Beginning" at the right. When I clicked that by chance, the movie started playing normally! Go figure!! These are the stats from such a file from within the Desktop ET, if anyone wants to investigate.

In regards to it costing money, that's also why people are paying for premiere. To help contribute for things that would cost money/time to implement. They've previously stated they would be going with a simplistic like/dislike approach (which is fine) and never raised any concerns about price or difficulty in implementation for that themselves.

The screen recording comes from Arch linux x86-64. Same thing on MacOS 14.6 (M2). I've been struggling with this thing for more than a year. Chrome family and Safari have no problems. Images with an aspect ratio thad does not fit the tiles are not stretched but correctly centered. Clearly, upload tailored images one-by-one is not a solution. I have hundreds of TV channels and thousands of images and videos. When elements with different aspect ratios are in the same collection, the problem arises. On logos, previews, posters, banners. I guess it's something related to the CSS flexbox elements that FF manages in its own (buggy) way. Disabling video acceleration or smooth scrolling doesn't make any difference.

I think collections would do the job for you. But I have never tested photo collections so i do not know for sure. Also your phrasing leads me to think that you may be using the folder view. If they are all in one library then the photo view puts them (the photos) all in the same view and you can use favorites to isolate a set of folders. If you are not able to use one library then collections will, probably, work for what you want. But I cannot confirm that works and I know that TV and Movie collections do not have an alpha picker and i suspect that a photo collection will not have one either. I will make a quick test and let you know. Edit: I tested and photo collections do work, mostly. Once created they cannot be viewed in the web interface. That is they show as collections but the contents are not show unless you "play" the collection. On the Roku they appear to work fine and the contents are shown and pressing play makes them play kind of like a playlist but it always starts with the first photo in the collection and it takes two play presses to get the collection playing. Roku needs to do a lot of work on their photo functionality but collections might work for what you want until the collection/playlist functionality gets fixed or, as they have done with other things before, gets removed or fixed like taking the dog to the vet to have him "fixed." I hope that helps a bit. As a last test I tried to select and show a single photo from a collection on my Roku but no matter which photo I choose the first photo in the collection is the one shown and play always starts from the first photo. The collection function for photos is broken but it is a workaround for photo playlists. Fortunately, for me, my photos are either "favorites" or not and if I limit the display to favorites and I play from the regular photo display with favorites on I can play the favorites and start wherever in the list I want.

Your use case is valid it is just the first time I've heard of someone doing it and the app simply isn't expecting it at this time.

Found it out...yeah it is infuse. The data capping of the stream works only with the emby app on the Apple TV. It seems there is some communication happening that allows amby server to do the job. Thank you (all).

Hi ppl. How do I get local trailers to show up here ? When I do not want the trailer plugin installed. I have trailer in a much better quality, than the plugin supplies. If its not possible, then trailer tab should not show up.

Online app that changes timings inside .srt files. I use VLC playback to check. There is an easy way to add a subtitle to the original video. Sync all timings in a subtitle srt https://subtitletools.com/subtitle-sync-shifter Sync only timings from selected Start time to End time inside the substitle srt file https://subtitletools.com/partial-subtitle-sync-shifter === Some useful ms numbers that shift audio 1 frame at a time. Obviously, just go negative to move the audio earlier in the video. It is tricky to get it exactly right, but you can see it best with closeup actor's face speaking or any sharp click. Getting it exactly right really looks nice. 24 fps: 42 83 125 167 208 250 292 333 375 417 458 500 542 583 625 667 708 750 792 833 875 916 958 1000 1042... 25 fps (occasionally found in UK and European films): 40 80 120 160 200 240 280 320 360 400 440 480 520 560 600 640 680 720 760 800 840 880 920 960 1000 29.97 or 30 fps: 33 67 100 133 167 200 234 267 300 334 367 400 434 467 501 534 567 601 634 667 701 734 767 801 834 868 901 934 968 1000 === For advanced timing, you can use https://aegisub.org/ I warn you that tweaking with this software takes a lot of time and there is a learning curve. It took me about 5 hours to fix subtitle timing and improve the actual translations for a 90 minute video. This allows you to more easily sync and extend subtitles that need a little extra time to read. It also automatically warns you when the number of words is not ideal for the amount of time they are shown. === It makes more sense to try to find already prepared subtitles online instead: https://subscene.com/ https://www.podnapisi.net/ https://moviesubtitlesrt.com/ https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/subs https://english-subtitles.org/ https://www.addic7ed.com/ Hope that helps.

Luke does not have the skills to bring emby out of the stone age, he can't update the look of emby he can't add skin support, he can't fix the live tv issues, he can't actually do anything else period. Emby the way it is will stay exactly the same it will never get updated because no one knows how to code period. Luke could'nt add banner support for emby if his life depended on it he just don't know how to. DONE!

Emby don't work on grid

No. The unlock will not transfer to the other app.
